Maybe it no longer ranks as high on the corporate agenda, or maybe

Hackett-REL shows that Europe�s 1,000 largest public companies
trimmed their days working capital (DWC) last year by just 0.6% on
average � to 44.3 days � compared with 3.3% in 2004 and 5.1% in
2003. Click Here to Link to Full Text of Article or visit the
